I ordered one just now... And from the link that Aerovishwa has given, it seems not to be an IR based heli, but a 2.4Ghz rc heli..

Have been checking several links on Google for the Align TRex 100 kit. I guess it doesn't come with a Tx.

German site selling the Trex100 kit for 49.90 Euro:

Translated:

"Is still needed
• Transmitter (AT 100 AFHDS 2.4GHz transmitter) (Mode 1 - 3) x 1
Flight battery and transmitter battery can be charged via the USB transmitter
• NiMH Battery 1600mAh 1.2V (for transmitter) x 4
• Li-polymer battery 1S1P 3.7V 150mAh x 1"

Chaar aane ki murgi bara ana ka masala (Meaning you need 75 Cent condiments for a 25 Cent chicken, [crude transaltion ])
I guess you will need this Tx (costing 62.99$ + shipping another 20$-30$) for this thing to work

for newbies you get freebies with this Tx, that is free sim for Trex 100 that will work with this Tx, link here (It is free FMS )

so !! all you smart Alecs who will have this Trex 100, you can keep it in your showcase and say "Yeah! i own a Trex" it also works as a backup tow truck (formerly called as Vehicle pull along)

and those who have got two ! well ! you can open a wrecker shop helping other to pull their vehicles

No Tx available...!!
I guess only that kind of Tx can be used with the heli..so flipkart should have atleast sold it separately...

is that confirmed that, its without tx ?.. should i cancel the order or proceed       

some more "proper" rc items

And a lot of blade mcx replacement parts.....
The railway tracks and sets are also good

Prateek,
Have you even compared the price before virtually advertising these items ? They have virtually NO details/description. So, there are chances that you may get a completely different thing than what you expect! Like the T-Rex heli, which most jumped to conclusion to be a 450 class one!!!

Flipcart's Toy store specially the radio controlled Items is looking like in a very nascent stage. If the product description is missing from the product page than for sure their support representatives also do not know about these products. Most RC items (Helis and parts) they have described in Height, Length and Width. But Flipcart is a no nonsense player in online shopping, they add categories one by one, last they added Personal Care products about 2-3 months back and now that store looked like in a mature stage.

BTW I have seen Syma helis also there.

Syma S109 rs.984
Syma S107 (blue) rs.963
Syma S108G rs.962
Syma S107 (red) rs.1230

Syma S102G replacement parts rs.1408

All in all it looks confusing because for almost every model the picture is of blades and no package contents. May be in few days things will clear up.

+1
Only a few months ago personal health care was just a section with shavers, trimmers, thermometers etc. just bunched together randomly without any proper description or any classification. Now if you look at that section, it has many more products but properly organised in categories with proper descriptions and reviews.

Hmm..so Amit that explains why you don't come on weekend trips and to fly now a days..your are doing PHD on flipkart 

I think the price on a lot of the proper rc stuff(what ever they have) is nearly double or more of what LHS are selling right now.

I got the follow up call from Flipkart and its confirmed the Heli is Align Trex 100...and it will not have the batteries. I asked about the transmitter but the guy who called me had no clue about.

He said, they have to contact the manufacturer directly when some one asks them question !

You should have mentioned remote and not transmitter..anyways if he is saying without batteries I suppose they mean remote batteries..if as per current ir  helies..heli lipo is integrated into the circuit and comes pre soldered

Ankur

The person who receives more info or the heli itself..please update asap

Dear Ankur

I asked "Remote control" and he wasnt sure...anyways I am also waiting for update. I almost bought it today...but then I have been flying small helicopters...my next stop is 6CH...so saving each rupee towards that.

But this one is an Align...thats the catch...

Yes. Almost double. And you can no longer count on these 'Reputed' Desi online stores. I have heard all stories about them and have had rather unpleasant experience with Myntra.
So till they settle things down and develop rapport, its better NOT to shop from them. They are known to fast to deliver, but too slow to process returns and refunds (if at all)

+ 1 Ankur - That will be the clincher. Well said. There are about a dozen people here who are waiting for that info!

just heard from VC, it comes with the remote, tgtbt , fingers crossed

Gusty Sir

What is tgtbt ? And what is VC's info source ?

too good to be true

I got a call from the same Mr. Aman, of Flipkart, who confirmed that the package included a Transmitter and 4 Zinc Carbon batteries for the 'Transmitter / Remote'.

" Sir, it is all included in the product package".

This is the update till now:

My Question : I want to know what are the package contents of this product. Does it comes with remote or not?
Flipcart Reply : We would like to inform you that "Align T-REX" comes with remote. It also includes Batteries which is needed in the package. (I still doubt it !)

My Question again : Please let me know all the package contents of this Product. What will I receive in the product package.
Flipcart Reply : We request you to allow us 24 hours and we will get back to you with a update regarding your query. We request your understanding and patience in this regard.

Amit_delhi, I think we are all on the same boat. Though we are all salivating, we refuse to believe. Its just a matter of time till one of us receives the product and then................ or 

Patience is the key word here.

Right VC sir, with COD there is nothing to loose...

On the second thought...there is one question coming to mind is

Entering big players like flipcart, junglee, yebhi, wohbhi into niche markets like RC is good / sustainable move? because these niche markets needs specialised technical know how and a feel for the products and hobby, will they be able to deliver it?
